re: John Brady is really good in the booth

Brady is the best radio analyst at LSU right now, hands down. He obviously knows the school and the basketball history. Be he also isn't so far removed from coaching the game that it has passed him by. He can, and does, give great insight. But he is really tremendous at not trying to make himself the "star" of the broadcast. Plus, he is incredibly respectful of Wade, and you can tell in the post-game interviews they get along well...even if Wade's style is probably much different than Brady's at LSU.

It is really remarkable to think this is the same John Brady who was acerbic and OVERLY sensitive to criticism when he was the HC at LSU. It is even more remarkable he's back involved with the program that fired him not all that long ago. A decision he very much resented for a while.

Brady seems to be comfortable and at peace with his life and career. He seems happy to be doing what he is doing, and it makes for a really good broadcast. Probably the best of all the major sports Blair calls.
